linux-intel-undervolt-gui

The purpose of this project is to provide an electron powered front-end for undervolting certain intel CPUs.

Getting Started

Head to the release page and find a package suitable for your distro

Prerequisites

• Python (tested with 3, unsure about 2)

• SecureBoot disabled: msr provides an interface to read and write the model-specific registers and under linux this isn't possible with SecureBoot enabled.

TODO

• Add benchmark/stress test
• Add hardware info to read out temps/usage/voltages etc
• Maybe an auto undervolt script to find the lowest stable voltage

Built With

• Electron React Boilerplate - Framework for building desktop apps quickly
